“Coach Merissa is truly passionate about her craft and cares about every athlete she trains. She never over did it when it came to constructive criticism which made it fairly easy to adjust my form to enhance my performance in the weight room. She was always encouraging and upbeat which made getting through our 7:45 am lifts a breeze!!”
